• Title: System-bath entanglement of noninteracting fermionic impurities: Equilibrium, transient, and steady-state regimes
• Authors: Krzysztof Ptaszynski, Massimiliano Esposito
• Abstract summary: We investigate entanglement between a single fermionic level and a fermionic bath in three distinct thermodynamic regimes. The threshold coupling strength, at which entanglement appears, is shown to strongly depend on the bath bandwidth. A steady-state entanglement is generated for arbitrarily weak system-bath couplings at a certain threshold voltage.

• Abstract: We investigate the behavior of entanglement between a single fermionic level and a fermionic bath in three distinct thermodynamic regimes. First, in thermal equilibrium, we analyze the dependence of entanglement on the considered statistical ensemble: for the grand canonical state, it is generated only for a sufficiently strong system-bath coupling, whereas it is present for arbitrarily weak couplings for the canonical state with a fixed particle number. The threshold coupling strength, at which entanglement appears, is shown to strongly depend on the bath bandwidth. Second, we consider the relaxation to equilibrium. In this case a transient entanglement in a certain time interval can be observed even in the weak-coupling regime, when the reduced dynamics and thermodynamics of the system can be well described by an effectively classical and Markovian master equation for the state populations. At strong coupling strengths, entanglement is preserved for long times and converges to its equilibrium value. Finally, in voltage-driven junctions, a steady-state entanglement is generated for arbitrarily weak system-bath couplings at a certain threshold voltage. It is enhanced in the strong-coupling regime, and it is reduced by either the particle-hole or the tunnel coupling asymmetry.

  interplay between symmetries and entanglement in out-of-equilibrium quantum systems is currently at the centre of an intense multidisciplinary research effort. We show that one can introduce a class of solvable states, which extends that of generic dual unitary circuits. In contrast to the known class of solvable states, which relax to the infinite temperature state, these states relax to a family of non-trivial generalised Gibbs ensembles.

• System-bath entanglement during Markovian relaxation of a fermionic impurity [0.0]
  We show that transient entanglement can be observed even in the weak coupling regime. This entanglement vanishes for long times, but is preserved over timescales comparable to the relaxation time. We relate the presence of such transient entanglement to the unitary character of the system-bath dynamics underlying the reduced Markovian description.

• Entanglement and localization in long-range quadratic Lindbladians [49.1574468325115]
  Signatures of localization have been observed in condensed matter and cold atomic systems. We propose a model of one-dimensional chain of non-interacting, spinless fermions coupled to a local ensemble of baths. We show that the steady state of the system undergoes a localization entanglement phase transition by tuning $p$ which remains stable in the presence of coherent hopping.

  We take a single coherent state and compute the relative entropy of coherence, $C_r$, in the energy, position and momentum bases. Coherence is computed for a superposition of two coherent states, a cat state, and also a superposition of two cat states in the energy basis as a function of separation. Considering a system of two non-interacting DHOs, the effect of quantum statistics is studied on the coherence of reduced single-particle states.

• Quantum coherence controls the nature of equilibration in coupled chaotic systems [0.0]
  Quantum coherence of the initial product states in the uncoupled eigenbasis can be viewed as a resource for equilibration and approach to thermalization. Results are given for four distinct perturbation strength regimes, the ultra-weak, weak, intermediate, and strong regimes. Maximally coherent initial states thermalize for any perturbation strength in spite of the fact that in the ultra-weak perturbative regime the underlying eigenstates of the system have a tensor product structure and are not at all thermal-like.
